Let’s be honest, the world is a very intense place and cinema often reflects that. There are simply so many films that deal with dramatic, often graphic, and deeply saddening content. And while those artistic and moving films can be wonderful, in small doses, sometimes film fans just want a little piece of happy escapism. Something that reminds them of the good in the world around them and that will lift their spirits on a dark or grey day....

The series now consists of 6 entries, counting the two Alien vs. Predator films. For clarity, the films are 1987’s Predator, 1990’s Predator 2, 2004’s AVP: Alien vs....
One of the oldest and most respected genres in Hollywood is the crime and gangster genre. From the era of silent films, with early efforts like Regeneration and ’30s era classic like Public Enemy and Scarface to some of the biggest crime movies of all-time like The Godfather and Goodfellas, Hollywood has some true masterpieces in the crime genre. Men like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola made their name thanks to the crime and gangster movie genre....
Pixar has been around for decades, and we’ve loved every movie they’ve produced. From watching toys come alive to watching a boy become a ghost, Pixar has given us some incredible characters with extraordinary stories. We find it easy to become enthralled in the unique worlds they’ve created for us, but for some fans, they believe that there is only one world. The official Pixar Theory was first thought of by Jon Negroni, and it has gained a wide following among fans....
Star Wars fans went crazy at the latest Star Wars Celebration when the Episode IX trailer premiered and delivered two earth-shattering revelations about the movie: first, that it would be called The Rise of Skywalker, and second, that Emperor Palpatine would be making a reappearance. He could be heard laughing at the end of the trailer, and just for good measure in case fans didn’t put two and two together, Ian McDiarmid emerged and joined the panel, confirming that he would appear in the movie....
Veronica Mars felt refreshing back in 2004. Not only was the layered, neo-noir storytelling appealing, the series acknowledged pressing social issues which were not on most people’s radars. Other teen dramas back then didn’t dive deeply into topics that actually pertained to teens and college students. Veronica Mars tackled matters that mattered. However, that’s not to say the show always handled these conversations perfectly. For every generation of television, there’s an awareness of how things used to be and how things are now....
The DC Animated Movie Universe really doesn’t get the credit that it deserves. It’s a long-running animated DC Universe filled with over 36 movies as of the time of this writing, with more on the way. It flies quite under the radar, and many aren’t even aware of its existence. Today, we’re going to be paying a bit closer attention to this franchise, and going over ten things the Animated Universe does better than the DCEU....

While most versions of the iPad mini with Retina display have been shipping in 5-10 days for a few weeks, the last two holdout models have finally dropped as well. The 16 GB and 32 GB Wi-Fi version of the recently-updated tablet, which were shipping in 1-3 business days just a few hours ago, have now dropped to the same shipping time as the rest of the lineup. This doesn’t bode well for holiday shoppers looking to score a Retina iPad mini, since shipping times will likely continue to lag as the holiday demand ramps up....
When people discuss the trajectory of the American adaptation of The Office, the discourse tends to revolve around the idea that seasons two through five are the peak of the show. Season six and onward, when many of the talent behind and in front of the camera started changing, is marked as a turning point for the show. However, turning points are not necessarily always for the worse. There are still a ton of quality episodes in the back half of The Office’s run and season six is an amazing encapsulation of so many of the show’s funniest (and sweetest) moments....
J.J. Abrams’ Fringe was lucky to even be renewed for a fifth and final season. It’s hard to imagine since the show was such a terrific successor to The X-Files. But it’s set in the world of pseudo-science, rather than the supernatural. It’s a briskly paced, creative, grounded ensemble piece that blends everything we love about science-fiction. Thematically, it delves into interesting ethical territory, and the characters have an equal share of fun quirks and heart....

In 2016, Fede Álvarez released the follow-up to his feature-length debut Evil Dead. This time around, though, the story was original and the movie was in no way a remake. Don’t Breathe premiered at the South by Southwest film festival in 2016 before hitting theaters that following August, with a sequel being released just shy of exactly 5 years later. Don’t Breathe follows three small-time criminals subsisting on break-ins against a bleak view of the economic landscape in Detroit....
With the release of Sam Mendes’ enthralling World War I epic 1917 around the corner, it seems fitting to look back at the last decade and see which other films set in wartime made the grade. There’s been no shortage of war films in the past few decades and there have been some absolute classics along the way. The following list features some excellent films based in various wartime eras that were released in the 2010s....
With its wacky humor, creative special effects, and natural chemistry between its four leading stars, Ghostbusters became an instant classic when it premiered in 1984. Written by and starring Harold Rammis, it followed the adventures of three paranormal professors who, after getting fired from Columbia University, decide to start their own paranormal extermination business. Later, they get a new recruit who perfectly rounds up the gang. The humor in Ghostbusters spans the gambit of jocularity, from Dan Aykroyd’s slapstick to Bill Murray’s laconic dry wit....
There may be a reboot of Gossip Girl coming soon, but fans of the New York-based teen drama will always want to watch re-runs of the original. There’s just something about the story of Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), her equally beautiful and fashionable and wealthy best friend Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), and their family and friends. Whether they’re coming up with grand plans or just hanging out, we want to watch them....
The success of Marvel’s first decade of media has inspired a lot of fans to do a lot of different things. From cosplay, to fan films, to memes–there’s no shortage of fan-made content in the MCU. It ranges from weird, to sad, to downright hilarious, much of the fan art shared by the Marvel actors themselves. While fans await the next “phase” of the MCU–starting with Black Widow in May–they can browse plenty of fan-generated content to satiate them in the meantime....
Sonic the Hedgehog’s first live-action trailer just dropped, and fans are—honestly, a little frightened. The opening for the trailer looked promising enough. A jaded cop (James Marsden, X-Men) is surprised when his police radar reads 760 miles per hour. Upon investigating, he finds but one shining blue hair. And then right away we’re hit with the nostalgia: the golden rings circling the Paramount opening sequence, the familiar Sega logo, and its accompanying ringing sound, and the iconic spinning blue furball....
We’ve already made a list detailing some of the strangest creations by the despised film studio The Asylum, which creates “mockbusters” (B-movies intended to capitalize on the success of a similarly-titled film released around the same time), but guess what? There are more. In case you desired a second collection of The Asylum’s most bizarre hits (like Sunday School Musical and Transmorphers), we’ve delivered with a somewhat disparaging guide to The Asylum’s most heinous attempts at “cashing in” on the popularity of Hollywood films that are better than ninety-nine percent of what they’ve created....
When the Farrelly brothers started working on a romantic comedy, a lot of their fans might have thought they were going soft. These guys were the first name in gross-out comedy, thanks to the slapstick gags and scatological humor in Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. They’d become famous for making outrageous movies that pushed the boundaries of political correctness, so it seemed like a shame that they were wasting their talents on a love story....
